Which makes it extremely important. I think it shapes the person. My overview of Trust vs Mistrust does end with the person taking care of you. At a young age, My mother had to work and I was always left with my older sister who was around 18 or 19 years old. My sister told me that I would cry from the time my mother walked out the door. tell the time my mother came home. I'm pretty sure I loved my sister as a baby but she wasn't my mother. Now I was not hurting or in need of a bottle I just yarned for my mother. I guess I could sense my mother coming home because I would stop crying seconds before the front gate even creaked open, even before the key was turned. I knew my mother was at the door. So did my big sister! As I got older I stopped crying when I left my mom. I eventually hung on to my older sister so much, people thought I was her daughter. She couldn't get rid of me! I moved in with her by the age of 10. I chose to trust my sister because I felt her sense of protection over me.

From the book: " A healthy outcome during infancy, Erikson believed, depends on the quality of caregiving."]]> 2022-03-02 00:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bshell18/vqbvl5mcr340lodc/wish/2072525959 bshell18 https://padlet.com/bshell18/vqbvl5mcr340lodc/wish/2072572491 The 2nd stage comes into play at the right time. The kids are learning new words like No and Mines. They are finding their independence and they want to try EVERYTHING. I can use my daughter for example. She wanted to be a big girl. And she didn't want my help with pulling her shirt down or helping her step into her pants. The mommy in me said "She's only 2! She still needs my help!" My husband, on the other hand, said let her be a kid. With trial and error, she was able to get dressed on her own. She didn't want help anymore and if she had a hard time getting dressed, she would slow her pace and watch her mistakes. My daughter would not go down without a victory. She wants to be a big girl. And that she was! Even with potty training, she would get up until she handled her business. She would watch tv on her pot. One time fall asleep on her pot. And if she had an accident and couldn't make it to the bathroom in time, she would cry and feel ashamed. But in return, she went to the bathroom more often so it would happen anymore. Autonomy was the side she picked.]]> 2022-03-02 01:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bshell18/vqbvl5mcr340lodc/wish/2072572491 bshell18 https://padlet.com/bshell18/vqbvl5mcr340lodc/wish/2072609710 I can see where things get tricky with school kids. By them being young some are eager to learn and show of their skills and some are afraid to show what they've learn in fear of judgement if they get it wrong. I noticed while observing my son's kindergarten class, some students that where good at particular skill always raised there hand. And if they got praised they seemed complete. I also noticed some students who knew the answer and just wrote it down without raising a hand or saying a word.

He would always ask "He many years until I get to Niyah's age?" He wouldn't to able to do what his big sister did so bad. Finally, he got to the age where he was needed and could be of service. He helped with groceries and exercised in his room. He was so young back then but he wanted to show me his muscle. In school, he is the same way. Always offering to carry or hold something.

From the Text: They are eager to tackle new tasks, join in activities with peers, and discover what they can do with the help of adults. They also make strides in conscience development. ]]> 2022-03-02 02:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bshell18/vqbvl5mcr340lodc/wish/2072642576 bshell18 https://padlet.com/bshell18/vqbvl5mcr340lodc/wish/2072673994 The Teenage years is the year of change. You never know where you might end up. You learn things about your self. But some lessons take time. 
Using my mom as an example. She has an distinctive walk. You can see her coming from a mile away. Nobody can copy her walk. In her younger teenage years, the adult felt like she walked "Promisious", and my mom didnt create the walk. She just walked! being that the adults saw her as a person that she was not, she tried to change her walk. But she wasn't comfortable with it. so she changed back to her "regular strut" and keep it moving. She kmow who she was and she wasnt changing that for nobody!

I've been through the rejection of family, and that is where the intimacy should have started. After putting that thought in my head that I didn't need anyone and I could make it through alone. that was the thought because anyone did leave me. I felt relieved because I knew I wasn't going to hurt myself. 
Here I am, as an adult and I can say that was not the route to go. everybody needs somebody and I'm married. which conflicts with my belief but I'm so afraid of giving my all or being intimate with someone because of my past. ]]> 2022-03-02 02:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bshell18/vqbvl5mcr340lodc/wish/2072706075 bshell18 https://padlet.com/bshell18/vqbvl5mcr340lodc/wish/2072734143 This stage means a lot to me because I can relate. Generativity is to nurture, care, and recreate. I grow up not wanting children but the moment I got pregnant my life changed for the best. I was the happiest while pregnant although I did complain from time to time. But nothing meant more to me then the life in my belly. When i came to a point where I wanted more children but my body wasn't allowing it, I felt stagnate. I felt less than a women. I was hurt and shamed and even upset. When i got pregnant for the 4th time and the pregnancy failed in my 5th month, I gave up. But in a good way, I was no longer stagnate. I used all my strength and love for all my babies, dead and alive; and used on my kids that I do have. I showed love to mothers like me and that was my generativity.

It could've been a movie! Her life isn't over yet but I know she's happy with how it turned out. The things that she might have regret were the lovers in her life. I think that most people regret the time they spent. No ones like to waste time.
